It is a matter of budgeting the time. Example, I just peeked at email
when I SHOULD be on my way to the park to watch a Little League baseball
game staring a 7 year old that is important to me. Familly and employment
require great amounts of my time. I am trying to get some of my work time
devoted to linux time.
